Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Vakhtang Tsintsadze said that according to forecasts by the International Monetary Fund, Georgia is expected to remain among the leading countries in terms of economic growth during 2026–2031.

According to Tsintsadze, an updated IMF review shows that Georgia ranked fourth globally in terms of economic growth in the post-pandemic period of 2021–2025.

“These results confirm the consistent and correct economic policy pursued by the government,” he said.

He added that IMF projections for 2026–2031 also indicate strong performance, with Georgia expected to remain among top growth economies. Tsintsadze noted that, compared to other EU candidate countries, Georgia’s growth rate is projected to be 1.6 times higher than the average.

The Deputy Minister also said that actual growth could exceed current forecasts.

“We expect real economic growth to be higher than projected by international financial institutions. In many cases, forecasts are later revised upward. This is supported by ongoing reforms and infrastructure projects,” he noted.

He added that these developments will strengthen Georgia’s investment attractiveness and improve the overall business environment.
